Love the outdoor lanterns used on the porch.

The orange here really adds an unexpected freshness.

Now that we have our own outdoor space, I'm in the process of deciding how to furnish it! There is so much you can do with an outdoor space, whether small or large.

I've been looking for some furniture that will fit into our space and some great outdoor accessories that are durable enough to stay outdoors.

With a set like this I would probably set up my computer and work outside!

This set is a refreshing change from traditional outdoor furnishing.  Remember that you can always swap out the chair cushions if you're feeling the need for a change...

I like the clean minimal lines of this table and chair set. All of these options above were found at Oldrids & Downtown.

Now for some accessories for my new outdoor space:

Stripes are a classic, and I think look especially good poolside.

Aren't these hanging planters adorable?  If you don't have a lot of ground space then hang them on a fence or wall to create your own version of a "green wall"

I don't know why, but I love it when indoor things are brought outside.  It really makes your outdoor space just feel like an extension of your home.  Luckily you can find all sorts of traditionally indoor items in stylish outside versions, like rugs, pillows, and curtains.

These outdoor lights are great mood setters and can be placed strategically throughout your outdoor space. I found these on Pinterest.
